It's been a while since I talked a bit about what I've been up to with my handmade jewellery making. I try to fit in some jewellery making into my schedule, as I find it very relaxing and I haven't stopped enjoying it ever since I started. I've recently explored more with air-dry clay and stamped style jewellery. These are some new pieces I've made, Ethereal Plant Beings Pendants:

These imprints are actually drawings, made by Boyfriendlovlie, that I've nicked used.
Here are his original drawings:

If you would like to say hello to him, don't be shy, or if you have any need for illustrations / drawings / some digital paintings, just email him. He'd be delighted. :)

For my part, I've sent these drawings to be made into stamps that I then applied on the clay. The indentation are then enhanced with acrylic paint, after which I coat the pendant with a layer of eco-friendly resin to protect the paint and increase durability.
I really like how they've turned out.

Here's another one I've made inspired from nature. 'I Heart Trees Pendant'. This one is my own drawing made into a stamp.

How do you like them?

Pendants are available in my Etsy store. They all come in a handmade linen bag and kraft paper pillow box, ready for gifting.

Wow! I am in awe of the beauty of those pendants. You and Boyfriendlovlie make a great artistic team. I'll be paying a visit to your etsy shop soon. Those are marvellous. Thanks for sharing these with us :)
